I don't think you've wondered off topic cause being able to boot into recovery with 3 or 2 button combination is very important especially if you mess something up.

To go to recocery

YOU HAVE TO PUT THE PHONE ON AND WHILE THIS THING IS ON PRESS VOL UP AND HOME TOGETHER.

Works AND RUNS PRETTY COOL.

Have backuped all and i m happy. :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ve flashed it via Odin3 and tried to partition Sd card.

I doesnt work.

Seems to be a mount prob.

-> The possibility to erase the download count were very usefull.

The port for cwm 10 were also very usefull for more functions as well.

Im a user and cant make a c ustom rom. Sorry. :D

Edit: Link to SD is a coll stuff if you flash a new rom and want to have your custom apps there. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
Although I don't want to be a let down, please keep in mind TrustZone is enabled on this phone which could be the reason steboot0/1 seem empty. Likewise Samsung can use TrustZone to store the number of custom downloads, so I really recommend using the system.img root+dd the recovery: because there is zero guarantee we'll be able to reset the count to zero in the future (bypassing TrustZone would be exceedingly hard. It's a secure hypervisor, with a small attack surface).

Thanks! From Alvin and your report I'm fairly certain there is a bug in this recovery wrt/ the handling of the sd-ext. I won't be able to work on it this week-end but I'm sure Oliver will propose a more bugfixed version later.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Eskuero:
I'm a noob and your waiting too much things from me...

Don't expect nothing.

I've merged the suppossed fix from diego to unuse the graphics.c hack.

But not time atm for testing it.

sd-ext correspond to the partitions of sdcard to move appa into there and also dalvik-cache, if you didn't partition it, it'll not be detected ovbiusly.

The emmc directory corresponds to the internal partition of sdcard.

Emmc points to internal sd and sdcard to external sd.

So do you think this is the reason I cant install my custom rom through cwm..something wrong with the recovery?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
I think so yes. Try repartitioning your SD as a single fat32 partition, then the installation might succeed.

Ok, and what could happen if the counter isn't reset. I mean except that we lose guarantee? If my counter is let's say 152 that only means that I flashed it 152 times, right?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
So far the only other consequence (besides losing warranty) is that a stock ROM can refuse to auto-update, but I'm not sure it checks the download count. I think it rather checks the signature at the end of the boot/recovery partitions.

Destroying the Trusted zone

What if we have a Magnet in front of that Phone?

Will we destroy more than the internal trust zone where custom download count is stored?

Hope to be fine when i try to erase memory with a magnet.

;)

I tried to format the ext SD with the Phone, then partioning went away from recovery and wiping dalvik cash goes wrong again.

I lost all the apps from SD ext2. :crying:

Please fix tha recovery.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
Hi,

I'm aware of it. Good point!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Trykall8:
Any Argruments?

What about the method to erasing all include the Trust zone in memory with a magnet or neo?

We coud do all new with flashing things back.

Then we only need to keep the bootloader.

Any one to try out?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
Well this is not a hard drive but a NAND memory (it does not use magnetic charge to hold information, but rather traps electrons), and in any case the trustzone is the first bootloader, so it is required for the phone to start up.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Trykall8:
I ve done flashing via dd, and it works fine.

But when ive got two partitions an ext4 as sdext2, and the main sdext, would it not working?

The log from recovery says:

I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

I:Can't format unknown volume: /emmc

E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

I think you have to implent some mount features.

So if this CWM is installed right, it should works after like below??!?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
The combo works for some people but not everybody. Apparently it depends on the bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Benzonat0r:
So you're saying a command line can be written in the bootloader for a 3 button combination?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] xd.bx:
In theory, you could ask someone who has a working three-button combo to dump his bootloader with dd, and then reflash your bootloader using this dump. However if it is not the exact same phone model, there's a high chance it will brick it.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Benzonat0r:

Glad that was easy, I'm getting a replacement shipped out to me in a week or so. But when in spoke to the Google rep he insisted they do not refund customers after the 15 day period even if there item is faulty.

Has anybody else returned their nexus after the 15day period and got a refund?????

I'm sending mine back for several reasons;

Kept freezing/locking up

Crackling sound coming from speakers when watching a video on YouTube sometimes

Light bleed on top left and bottom left corner

Back casing making a cracking sound when holding it on the left side.

Have any of you witnessed these problems and how did you overcome them if you did.
[Nexus 10 General] gruntfutuk:
A friend got replaced last week. Purchased before Christmas. This was in UK though so 2 year warranty (free of additional charge) applies by European law [Apple got in trouble recently for suggesting only 1 year].

Manufacturing faults by the way are covered for 6 years. Not seen that applied much on modern consumer electronics.
[Nexus 10 General] Rodeojones:
I'm surprised to hear about them not accepting returns after 15 days even with defects. I wasn't aware of this.
[Nexus 10 General] ayman07:
If you want a refund all you have to do is refuse delivery of the replacement they are going to send you. They told me that's the only way they will refund the money. I called and asked them that because this is my 4th unit.
[Nexus 10 General] 24K1R:
Hi. ayman07 and all who are replying.

Could you please inform me on how to refuse delivery as i would much rather gain a refund as i am more interested in purchasing an i5 laptop around the £400 mark.

Many thanks
[Nexus 10 General] ayman07:
When the UPS guy comes just be at the door and say you're refusing delivery. Alternatively, you could leave a note on your door saying that you are refusing delivery. I think you may be able to call them as well (before it's delivered).
[Nexus 10 General] 24K1R:
I would but I doubt they would refund if i did this and it would make the process even more difficult, i also doubt if i phone them they will compromise as I honestley don't want it anymore but its like they're force feeding it me.

But I'll try phoning them again now

Thanks again
[Nexus 10 General] ayman07:
You can doubt all you want my friend, this is what I was told by the Google representative. You can always file a claim with your credit card company once you refuse delivery.
[Nexus 10 General] Rodeojones:
I would double check with Google before refusing delivery. I had to have another replacement sent. Called on Friday and because it's my 2nd RMA I wanted to ensure I wasn't going to get hit with their 15% restocking fee (for those who don't want to do the math, that's about $75USD for the 32GB). I was told that as long as I'm exchanging defective ones for new ones I'd be OK. But if one is looking to return the device and get a refund he'd be subject to the restocking fee, even if the device being returned is detective.
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
Then why did you buy it?

And if you want to have an easier time returning and exchanging then you should buy from a retail store like Walmart. Its always good to read the fine print return policy before you buy something online
[Nexus 10 General] atg284:
I was told early on that I had 15 MORE days once I got the replacement. So as long as you request a refund within 15 days of your replacement it should work. Definitely call and double check bit I got a refund on my second device. Just make sure to stay on top of it and Call call call. Think it it as a second opinion because there is no uniformity with the play support.
[Nexus 10 General] Rodeojones:
Interesting. Were you charged the restocking fee? Did you have to fight to keep it from being flagged as buyer's remorse (which is what triggers the restocking fee - according to the Google rep I spoke to on Friday)?
[Nexus 10 General] atg284:
I was not charged a restocking fee but when I got the refund I noticed it didn't cover shipping..I'll take the $11 hit and never buy from the play store again. Enjoy the $11 Google!

After my RMA was all set up for returning my second device for a full refund I called back just to make sure I had everything right. That is when I was informed that they put it in as remorse. I laughed to myself and said "I told her many times that it was defective" it was unbelievable and I only did it because I heard someone else got charged because they "accidentally" put it in as buyers remorse.

My only advice is to stay on top of it....never again will I buy a device on the play store.
[Nexus 10 General] 24K1R:
I got my RMA yesterday and am going to be getting a shipping label "soon" they say. But because I'm in the EU they won't be charging me a restocking fee but they did say when I asked about fees that I will be refunded fully but the £10 spent on delivery will not be refunded.

Yeah I agree there is no uniformity with the play support as first i was told i cannot get a refund however as i persisted they agreed to provide me with one. Im kinda glab they havent got uniformity in their support now.:victory:
[Nexus 10 General] MattBooth:
In the UK you have 6 months for a refund in faulty goods. Same for the EU.

Hello, and scuse me for my poor English but if that can help someone:

I had a lot of problems with battery drain of my phone, so i've tested some roms but give me bad results. All my tests was the night, with no data, no wifi, no bluetooth

Supreme Rom was the first and battery drain was 3% by hour

Rom Ripper V1.0 was the second and with perseus kernel 4 or 5% by hour....!

The third XTrem rom V3 with Perseus Kernel 3% by hour and with Stock Kernel 1,5% by hour. V4, it was the same. I've tested with set CPU at minimum (400 MHZ max) screen off, voltages for all frequences -25mV, don't change anything.

BUT last Night I've tested Padorium ROM V6 with Stock Kernel and OUahhh, my battery was at 90% before sleep and 8 hours after, 87%. So 0.5% only by hour!! And in use (datas or wifi on, internnet, fcbk.....) 1% every 10 min. It's very good.

If that can help someone who's flashing again and again for battery drain....
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] txr33:
I would not say this has solved battery drain.

I can get same amount of loss overnight if I turn off data, wifi, bluetooth etc as in 3% all night even less if I put the phone into flight mode. No matter what phone or rom I have used I can get these same results.

For you to lose soo much battery overnight you must have some rogue app running in the background to cause it, that is why personally I restart the phone before going to bed to kill any unknown apps in the background that are going to drain battery.

I don't know which app caused this issue but i think its remount.

I also can't access recovery mode.

I did a factory reset and it didn't help.

I don't know if this is of any help but every time i restart the device everything goes back to factory settings. It shows you the guide

How can i reset the internal storage back to normal

Found Solution

I found a solution, hopefully this can help someone in the future

The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.

To fix it :

1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full.

2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"

When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal
